    Computers use switch mode power supplies. The first step is a bridge rectifier, they could run on a square wave or ~170vdc. Most have active power factor correction, which chops the incoming current up even more.

    Cheap capacitive dropper power supplies won’t like a modified sine. Simple motor loads won’t either. If you’re doing radio frequency work, it will be a huge source of noise but shouldn’t damage anything.
